Freedom

What is your perception of Freedom?

Before answering that question consider the following.

The human species is the only species on Earth that has to pay to live on this planet.

When the entirety of your earnings are exhausted on food and shelter your labours are no longer viewed as an opportunity for economic advancement, but rather as an act of self-preservation. In the real world, that’s called…..Slavery.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe-1749-1832). Almost 200 years later the sheeple still can’t apprehend this.

So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so: for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping me. (Voltairine de Cleyre).

The general population doesn’t know what’s happening, and it doesn’t even know that it doesn’t know. (Noam Chomskt).

If stealing 100% of the product of someone’s labour is slavery, at what percentage is it not slavery. (Unknown)

99.9% of people travel between 2-4 hours per day 5-6 days per week. They also work 8-12 hours of slave-labour 5-6 days per week for whatever monetary compensation, on 5-6 hours of sleep in a system built on penalistic principle and a life under judgemental surveillance. Then throw in the stress, harassment, constant financial worries, fear and a sense of inadequacy which by the way destroys the health of any human. So why do we accept and tolerate a system that in actual reality demands that you erase your needs and in effect commit a slow and joyless suicide for someone else’s profit?

How do you perceive Freedom now?
